1. Any person or persons de siring to raise money for the Red Cross must turn over to the chapter treasury every cent raised after legitimate expenses are deducted, if the money was raised in the name of the Red Cross. 2. giving a Red Cross entertainment, permission must be obtained from the chapter with which a branch or an auxiliary is affiliated. If there is no chapter, then permission must be obtained from headquarters in Washington.

Such permission, moreover, must be obtained before plans for the entertainment, including for printing have been completed; otherwise waste of effort and ot money would result of it chanced permission were not granted. All chapters of the Red Cross have been particular ly cautioned against giving consent for local entertainments in the name of the Red Cross unless all the conditions conform to the organization's policy. Briefly, these condi-tsons are: that there be no division of profits with the pro moter; second, that. the, management is under Red Cross control; and third, that there is no use of the Red Cross emblem or name in advertising an entertainment unless the affair is -actually, under Red Cress direction and control. (Copied irom article by Wm.

Howard Taft in Ladies' Home Journal.) 3. The- executive committee of the Edwards county chapter has made this further ruling: 1 Any person desiring to.give an entertainment or to 'raise funds in any way whatsoever in the name of the Red Cross, may obtain permission to do so from the chairman of their local branch instead of from the county chairman, provided that that chairman be "a member cf the county executive committee.
